Crimean Muslims call on the OSCE to deal with the threats of Ukrainian media

The representative of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Crimea (SAMC) Ayder Ismailov, who took part in the OSCE meeting on human rights in Warsaw, urged the organization to assess threats to the Crimean clergy made on the Ukrainian TV channel ATR, reports RIA Novosti.

He said that the TV channel threats were made against the Crimean Mufti Emirali-Hajji Ablaev. "The participants of the conference and the OSCE itself must pay attention to it and adequately assess this," said Ismailov, Deputy Mufti of Crimea.

He stressed that the ATR channel and its affiliated media also allow insults to the Pedagogical Institute Rector Fevzi Yakubov.

According to Ismailov, the calls for prevention of conflicts and ethnic tension should not be combined with the "organization of the so-called "food blockade," explosions of power transmission lines", the establishment of the national battalion and calling for Jihad.

Private Crimean-Tatar channel ATR belonging to Lenur Islyamov initially operated in the Crimea, and later resumed broadcasting from Kiev.
